Sorry guys for being absent and not reading much, but I'm at the edge of a nervous breakdown. I really want to participate in the Wattys, and, me being me, I decided to start a story from scratch a few weeks ago. I wasn't happy with the one I was working on, so I filed it away. Well, I put my heart and soul into drafting the new one, writing it without keeping an eye on my word count. I’m almost finished with the manuscript, and now that I've calculated the word count, I’ve written only 17000 words. That’s it. I want to finish it as a challenge because I’m a short storyteller and so I hate stretching scenes. So, I’ll be more active when I get to or better say crawl to the 40,000 words

Greetings K.G,
          
          Thank you for adding Emberfall to your reading list. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I love writing it.
          
          I hope you will join in the ONC chaos next year, even though this one didn't go as you had hoped. Good luck with your edits and completing your stories. 
          
          ~ Q

@Space_Queen_Q Because I’m new to this community, I thought winners were only those who advanced to the next round. Also, the posts were spaced weeks apart, so it might be helpful for the ONC judges to post everything at once—such as favourite picks, winners, and the list of stories moving forward—so newcomers can better understand the process. But that's okay. It's not the end of the world! :D

Hi K.G. — Thank you for the follow and for adding Into the Light to your reading list! Happy to follow back and support another writer. I hope you enjoy my poems. I also dabble in prose genres (sci-fi, fantasy, historical, etc.) — but verses are my literary home. Have a wondrous day & be writing!  -Stacie

Margot Robbie is a great actor, but she is too “mature” for this role. Not in a negative sense, but she’s portraying someone who is 18. Robbie is 17 years older than the original Cathy. Millie Bobby Brown would have been a better fit, as her age and appearance match Brontë’s Catherine. Millie is a bad-ass actress. Young performers should get the chance to take on these major roles. Heathcliff is played by Jacob Elordi (Australian actor). He played Frankenstein (2025). He is okay. You should watch this adaptation. Del Toro’s production taps into the monster’s trauma, its psychic dimension, and its rebirth.

Have you? I love Wuthering Heights. I know it like the back of my hand. It's third on my favourite list of classic novels! I wrote the story to share it with you guys, even though I can't enter the competition because of my location. What are your thoughts on the upcoming movie?
